    Hey thanks George, yeah hehe, saw this yesterday but the rollers look a bit iffy to me and i don't know how easy they'd be to clean up. I tend to think if it was easily done then the seller would have done it prior to selling to get a better price.
    Thanks for the shout though George, it's much appreciated.

    It might be worth a punt and getting the rollers refurbed by Durston.

    I'm not gonna bother. It looks waaay to unhappy in all it's pictures for my liking-theres no sign of a smile . Am looking for one that's been shown more love by a caring owner and is full of good vibes.

    Have you or has anyone you know had anything refurbished by Durston recently? I've heard several woeful (and few good) tales of Durston's direct dealings with customers over the last couple of years.

    Don't start me on them as my experience hasn't been great but I do wonder if it's a different story when it's a problem with their main product. When I was needing advice about buying a rolling mill, Matthew Durston phoned me back from a trade fair in Germany when he recieved my message. That de impress me and he was very helpful. Their new products seem to be much more problematic for them, maybe they just have too many strings to their bow now

    I had a ring stretcher that was completely misaligned, I did have communication issues to start with. Following a few choice words on their Facebook page I received immediate attention. I added to my facebook comments when the issue was resolved. I now love my ring stretcher no problems.

    Hello Stretch,

    I am going to be selling my Durston 80 mini mill very soon, having just taken receipt of a larger one, as wanted an upgrade. Machine is less about 2 years old, and I have just replaced the cogs (which I got direct from Durston (dont ask me about their customer service!!), there is a small chip on the central shaft, but it works perfectly well, I have been using it until today when I have installed my new one. Let me know if you are interested.
